• Chewie's been Carnagized, and Carol ain't happy about it!
• It's Earth's Mightiest Hero against a symbiotic space cat - what more could you need?!
Rated T+
Highly recommended, great art, great storytelling, not essential reading for the main event but if you're going to pick up any of the tie-ins, I would put this one at the top of the pile. Read Full Review
Overall, Absolute Carnage: Captain Marvel #1 is an average tie-in comic. The story is okay. The art is average at best. For every fun Bad kitty bit of dialogue, theres an off-putting FOMO. If youre collecting everything Absolute Carnage, go ahead and pick it up. For the rest looking for absolute must tie-ins, save your five bucks. Read Full Review
While there are some charming parts at the beginning and end of the issue, there's just not enough here to make this a must-buy, though there is some fun to be had if you're willing to overlook some flaws. Read Full Review
Eh this was pretty inconsequential. The cat is cute I guess, plus .5 for the cat.
I enjoy it. but it's not a must read.
This was a fine tie-in, but definitely not necessary.
Boring
Prelude:
Another tie-in to Absolute Carnage on the week it ends. Great.
The Good:
Let's cut to the chase and say nothing.
The Bad:
There is no point to this story.
It's boring.
Conclusion:
As you would expect, it's a boring issue that contributes nothing to the event whatsoever.
Captain Marvel makes some cute wisecracks while battling Carnage for the soul of her cat. I like much of the humor, but watching a hero win an utterly generic "pluck plus random zappy powers" victory isn't satisfying. Also, while individual panels of the art were great, the different inking approaches clashed hard.
